😂Funniest thing that’s ever happened to your muse?  For Dream, or if you can remember since I know a lot of things are fuzzy, Erik or Charles!

For Dream it’s kind of a non-canon/crack thing that only @pohlepen was there for but:

For the other two, NO idea, but I do remember Erik had a bunch of weirdly funny interactions with Walnuts’ Shaw when they weren’t uh. You know.

👀Favorite thing about the muse’s appearance? For Proximity!

The fact that it has no humanoid appearance and is always either a) a sprawling cityscape (in the Dreaming and in the Griefbringers’ internal world), or b) a bodiless, semi-malicious presence in one’s head or in nearby electronic devices (usually computers or complex systems; it functions like a fictional artificial intelligence, basically). I just think it’s neat.

@ my fellow multimuses and people with multiple blogs: you can and should send asks to yourself to write drabbles or whatever else if that formatting works better for you. Personally I find it really difficult to write anything outside of Tumblr, solo or otherwise, but asks and threads are THEE perfect format for me to do it in. If I have characters that know each other IC and there’s something I want to write with them, I’ll send myself an ask about it: it’s fun and it makes things easier for me AND it also lets other folks read how my characters interact! Win/win situation.

And if you feel like it’s cringe or self-indulgent or whatever and you shouldn’t do it then maybe ask yourself why that is. It’s no different from doing solo writing with a changing POV and if anyone is judging you for it that’s their problem.

“Is this your plan? Seduce me into forgetting?” [ cid ]

Shake of the head, wet hair plastered to his scalp, wet hands on the nightmare’s t-shirt leaving fingerprints everywhere they touch: Cid is not himself. At least not as this Corinthian knows him, has known him. He struggles getting words past his clenched teeth and can’t stop his heart from hammering so loud in his chest it’s a wardrum in his ears.

“Into remembering,” he grits out. The nightmare isn’t resisting him but it isn’t doing what it used to either: taking the lead, putting his hands where it wanted them, offering its throat. Cid doesn’t know how to navigate this new thing between them. He’s frozen, caught between the desire to flee from this near-stranger and to rip open its ribcage and pry out the parts of it that might still remember him.

“You c’n take my eyes.” He’s staring at the nightmare’s throat. “They’ll help you—help you remember me.”

orpheus as a faerie would have the most gorgeous golden-brown wings. there’s a specific piece of art i always picture for inspo for him (not with wings but just. in general) that i need to find later.

i’m STILL thinking about the villain of [redacted]. it reminds me of something that happens in ffxiv that isn’t really the same at all, but has a similar thing of “a lot of children were sacrificed for this and it is horrifying”. something about the visuals of it…

man. the starlings don’t know (so far) that they have a half-brother who exists as a severed head somewhere (though i’m sure riona knows he exists, even if she doesn’t know the details - the story is of course widely known but I don’t think “Orpheus is a severed head now” is?). and they don’t know that dream is going to [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]. uh oh.

every time i re-read nightmare co/untry and get to the bit with corinth slamming lucien into a wall i think of your lucien specifically. he wants to snap that librarian into kindling. i think dream would snap HIM into kindling for doing it which is only fair.

wow the word “lucien” has stopped feeling real suddenly. is that his name. oh god.

on the one hand i don’t really use sturridge as my dream fc but on the other hand sometimes the gifsets of him are just so fucking good or accurate that i’m like “sure, that’s going in the visuals tag.”

many such cases for many of my muses. it’s less about appearance than Vibes.

im gonna be honest i was thinking about how much i like reading your writing. this isn’t even me trying to suck you off i’ve just been rotating frankie in my head since last night and ALSO vaguely remembering a multimuse i think you had?? or maybe i dreamt that. but anyway i love your style of writing and i’m so curious about how it might look for other characters and the similarities and differences i might pick up there. mwah.

also i think frankie is only an inch shorter than cid so whenever they’re around corinth together he looks like a lanky giant. as he should.

Send "💬" for the mun to talk about whatever is on their mind!

(Bonus if you add a topic or question you want them to talk about!)

Yippee!

I have a bunch of Orpheus muse for uhh grief reasons so he’s going back on the muse list. Hard to figure out how to combine the 4969395 sources I’m using for him but what does it matter really dkfjdnfb

if you see him being homoerotic with his nightmare... keep walking. 🔫

“You’re bleeding. I didn’t know you could.” [ dream— ]

"when it suits me. as can you, when it suits you."

he holds out his hand, palm-down, above his nightmare's upturned face. extends a long fingertip dipped in black starlight ichor, lets it drip down between the corinthian's teeth. it seizes like it's been struck by lightning: when it grabs his wrist to pull it down, get its mouth on his bloodied hand for more, he does not resist. he watches. he feels nothing in particular. everything--his pride, his cruelty, his sorrow, his affection--is locked tight behind the windows that overlook the throne. a swirling void-storm that none know but him.

his nightmare licks his hand clean, fingers still clamped tight on his wrist. it gives him a questioning look, but doesn't stop.

"my gift to you," says dream placidly, lowering his eyelashes. it feels like a joke between them.
